If it were any other creature, it would be fine, but Mei Sanniang had a great connection with mice, so I couldn't help but get up and look for the source of the rustling sound. I got off the wooden bed and brought the oil bowl lamp, and I looked everywhere for the source of the sound. Looking everywhere, following the sound, I went towards the backyard, opened the door and went out of the house. It seemed that something was wrong, because I didn't smell such a smell when I washed my face just now.

Gulp, gulp!

When I heard the sound, I immediately looked forward, only to see a strange woman with her back to me, long hair draped over her shoulders. She was playing with the water in the spring pool and wiping her body carefully. In the moonlight, I could see her white and slender arms, while the rest of her body was submerged in the water, so only a shadow could be seen.

It was obvious that she came here specifically to take a bath, but the figure was unfamiliar and I couldn't recognize who she was at first, but she felt particularly familiar until I saw the clothes she left on the shore. Then I understood. I remembered seeing her in the Nether Cave and the smell also came from there. Then I remembered that she was Mei Sanniang, the lord of the ghost den.

But she came here so late at night, maybe she had set an ambush, that's why she came here so blatantly, I have to be careful.

"Mr. Zhou, you seem to be stunned." The woman asked in a tender voice, her body rippling in the water.

"Bah, I'm just afraid that you will pollute our spring water. What are you planning to do by doing this? You know that to catch a thief, you must catch the leader first. If I catch you here, I'm afraid the ambushes you set up won't dare to cause trouble. Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you are so powerful. I found out last time that your head was blown up, and it took a long time for it to grow back. If I put a big stone on your neck in that nearly one minute, I wonder if you can grow it back." I said.

"Hahaha..." Mei Sanniang laughed as if she was listening to a joke.

I picked up a stone from the ground, held up the Golden Sword, and said, "You don't believe it?"

"How about this, Mr. Zhou, since you are interested in playing this head-shooting game, then I will play with you. But since it is a game, it depends on winning or losing. I will give you a chance to shoot my head again. If you succeed, my head will not grow long anymore, and you can put anything on my neck as you wish. But if you lose, you have to do me a favor." Mei Sanniang said charmingly.

The most powerful thing about this ghost master is that she is full of tricks. I can't be fooled by her easily. She said she wanted to play, which means she must be completely sure. Besides, it is dark and windy now. Although I can hear the sound of flowing water, the accuracy of her sniping is definitely not as good as in the daytime. In this way, I will most likely lose. Therefore, if I agree to play this game with her, I will suffer a lot.

So I shouted, "Good and evil cannot coexist. I have no intention of playing so-called games with you. It is inevitable that I will deal with you."

After saying that, I threw a stone and was about to take action, but at this moment she suddenly turned around and stood up from the water. I was immediately startled, and the Golden Que Sword also swung in vain. I quickly turned my face away, and saw that she was in the water with a look that no one should look at. After all, her clothes were all on the shore. For a man like me, standing up suddenly like this was naturally an indescribable stimulation.

She laughed again and said, "You swung your sword. It looks like you lost. Then you have to agree to one condition of mine."

I was furious, and remembered that she was not an ordinary woman. She was just using that body to confuse me. There was no way I would fall for it. So I picked up the stone again, not caring whether it was inappropriate to see those pictures. I just thought that it was just her method. She was not a scary monster. I had to find a way to kill her tonight. If I won the battle, I could also save Yunwen, whom I had been thinking about day and night.

He threw it into the air, listened to the sound, predicted its falling momentum, and then accurately swung the Golden Que Sword again. This time the calculation was good, and I had just seen the position where she floated to the surface of the water accurately, so the strike position would never deviate. So there was a bang, and it hit the stone. The stone made a sharp sound and rushed out in an instant.

I breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that it had worked.

I stared straight ahead, thinking that as long as I waited until Mei Sanniang in the water was shot in the head again, I would subdue her immediately so that she would not grow flesh and blood, and then I would take her life while she was weak. Then everything would be over. I would find a way to get rid of the remaining rat people, and then everything would be fine.

However, just as the stone was flying, suddenly a black umbrella appeared in the air and opened with a swish, blocking the stone's attack from the side. The stone's momentum seemed to disappear, and it bounced back and fell into the water like an ordinary stone.

My eyes widened immediately, not only because Jinque's force was fully blocked, but also because the black umbrella was none other than the Zhenming Umbrella that had always been in Hu Lingshang's care and collection. I didn't expect it to appear so directly. It was obvious that Hu Lingshang's submission to Mei Sanniang was a foregone conclusion.

I may have had some fantasies before, but now the fantasies are completely shattered. It is true that birds of a feather flock together, all evil spirits. How big of a difference can there be?

I took a few steps back. I had just used the Golden Que Sword, which could only be swung once normally, and that one swing would drain all my strength, so it was impossible for me to come up with a second move. I thought this would at least have some effect, but now it seems that I thought too much. Who knew that an umbrella would suddenly appear in front of me? The so-called "softness overcomes hardness", the Zhenming Umbrella was extremely sinister, and perhaps it was that way that the force was neutralized.

At this time, Mei Sanniang in the spring pool burst into laughter again and walked towards the shore while laughing. I quickly turned my face away. This woman was really shameless.

"Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou, do you really think I'm a fool? I was hit the first time, and I will be hit the second time? If that's the case, how can I be the lord of the ghost den? Okay, I don't blame you for cheating, but the game is a game. You swung twice and failed to hit me, which means you have lost. Since you lost, you have to promise me one thing. This is called accepting defeat." Mei Sanniang said as she walked up to the shore.

"You wish! I never promised you to play. It's just your wishful thinking. If you want to kill me, go ahead." I said.

At this time, Mei Sanniang had already walked in front of me, her body was wet, her delicate skin rubbed against mine, she put her hand on my face and said, "How can I bear to kill you? Besides..."

She came a little closer, put her mouth close to my ear, and said softly, "If you die, do you think that little girl can still live? So this game, whether to play or not is not up to you, but up to me, understand."

I was stunned. It was true. If I died now, what would happen to all these careful and accurate plans? What would happen to Yunwen? She was still waiting for me to pick her up. If I died, how could she deal with Mei Sanniang alone? Her heart would definitely be taken back, and she would definitely die. But I promised to protect her.

So, although I was extremely helpless, I still asked, "What are your conditions?"

"My conditions are very simple. I have been lonely for thousands of years and need someone to accompany me and comfort my soul. You must accompany me tonight and follow me closely. And tonight you must treat me like your wife and not neglect me. If I am satisfied, I will naturally let you go. Otherwise, it will be easy for me to take away your and your husband's hearts." Mei Sanniang said with a smile.

"Who do you think I am? Do you think I would agree to such humiliating conditions?" I couldn't help but get furious.

Mei Sanniang saw that I was angry, so she quickly patted my chest and said, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. I don't want you to do anything dirty with me. I just want you to accompany me for one night in the name of husband and wife. OK? Just treat it as a good deed, okay?"

Although I don't know what tricks she will come up with next, I am now being led by the nose. If I don't agree, my heart will be dug out in an instant. The result will be that this person will go on a killing spree and cause great suffering to the people. This is absolutely what Yunwen and I want.

"Although I don't know what the point of doing all this is, you have to keep your word. This is only for one night, and we are only husband and wife in name only. If you make any excessive demands again, I will have no choice but to fight to the death. As the saying goes, a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. You should know this." I said immediately.

"Okay, then let me get dressed up and I'll spend this wonderful night with you, my husband." Mei Sanniang said with a little excitement.
